Our study found that India tops the global league table of managerial effectiveness. 68% of employees in India rate their manager as effective, followed by Brazil (61%), the United States (60%), Russia and the Gulf countries (57%), Canada (56%), China (53%), Germany (51%), the UK (50%), Spain (46%), Italy (44%), Japan (43%) and France (41%).
While these rankings may be of interest, it's more important that organizations recognize the benefits that come from having effective managers. Of course, a good manager is more likely to get the best out of employees, in terms of their performance. But good management has benefits that extend much further than productivity.
